Offsetting our Mexican emissions
And I'm not talking about the beans, lol!
On my way back from class today I remembered that it's Earth Day and to go to TerraPass to buy carbon offsets for our trip to Puerto Vallarta. Their website calculated that Victor's and my share of the carbon dioxide generated by our roundtrip flight was 2,200 pounds. Over a ton!
For $14.85, I bought a 3,000 pound offset. TerraPass uses the money to finance wind farms for electrical generation and methane recovery projects from livestock and land fills (like CO2, methane is a powerful greenhouse gas).
